Repercussions - “11 Songs” 12"

11 song 12" EP released on 540 Records out of Texas in 2007 (I think?). One of them supergroups that only gets together every so often to record and play shows since some of the members live in different parts of the country. Features the guitarist from DEATHREAT and the vocalist from cult band COLD SWEAT..... which pretty much ends up sounding like the perfect mix of both bands. I could definitely see these songs having ended up on a DEATHREAT release.... straight-forward US hardcore with pissed off vocals and angry lyrics.

I saw these guys play at Chaos in Tejas 2007 but the best memory I have related to this band is the singer of REPERCUSSIONS playing "bodyguard" for some shitty band called DROPOUT on the first night of the fest. It was their "reunion" show even though I had never heard of them.... and with good reason since they really sucked. Anyways, while DROPOUT was playing the vocalist from REPERCUSSIONS was standing on the stage with his arms crossed and rocking a tough guy pose while protecting the band or something. Eventually, everyone in the audience got sick of the crappy band and their stupid lame vocalist..... someone grabbed a trashcan and threw it square at the singer's face (I guess they were in a GORDON SOLIE type of mood? They were a little early since they weren't playing until 2 nights later....). The funniest part though was when the singer for DROPOUT got popped in the face, Mr. Bodyguard (REPERCUSSIONS vocalist) busted out laughing at the dude too. Once he realized he was supposed to be serious or something he busted out his angry face again and went back to playing bodyguard. Good times.....

Metal Attitude Sucks

I'm going to try to post mostly OOP punk vinyls from the 90s and forward... if any bands/labels object to any of the posts feel free to contact and I will delete them.

I firmly believe that there's always been 2 types of fans of music. Those that will seek out the vinyl/CD even after hearing the music and those who rarely spend on music. The latter have always been content with tape recordings, CD-rs, etc.... So in my eyes blogs like these are not harming the DIY/Indie labels and making them lose money.

I fall under the former category and continue to buy records even though I download like a madman.
